Good Morning Campers!!!
It has been too long since my last update. So much has been going on..I don't even know where to start...Lester's dad is still hanging on..why I don't know..he has said he is ready to go..he has been baptized..he gathered all his children from all over the world and said his goodbyes...yet he continues to hang on...he is weighing in around 100lbs.he doesn't eat much..he can hardly stand on his own...spends most of his days in bed...all of his children have gone home now..they all said their goodbyes..it was so sad and so hard to watch but it had to be done...I know it was especially hard for my hubby to leave knowing the next time he sees his dad will be at his funeral. I do understand that is exactly what happened to me with my own mum. I continue to go visit with my father in law most days...I sit with him if his wife has errands to run. In a way it has been an honour to be with this sweet kind man as he faces the end of his incredible life..I have posted a pic of him above...
In happier news it was fabulous to have hubby home for 2 weeks..we had a blast and made the most of our time together even if the reason for his visit was so difficult... hubby did a lot of the piddly little jobs that I had on the honey- do list..we also got started on the garden..I have now re-potted all my hanging baskets...weeded and and planted my flower beds..replaced a couple of ferns that did not survive the winter...and I am happy to say it has finally warmed up enough for me to spend some happy afternoons reading out by the pool...it will be a long time before I will be swimming though..we have had an exceptionally long winter this year and our temps are well below normal for this time of year...
I had another birthday..I am now the ripe old age of 48!! I cannot believe I am that old..I certainly don't feel any older although my body is starting to feel it...lol..it was a quiet birthday...but I got to skype with my family in the U.K. and spoke with hubby on the phone and went out to dinner with the "kids"..had my favourite Mexican food and a couple of Mango margaritas..I got a lovely necklace from my daughter and a gift certificate for a Pedicure which I am long overdue for...
I have missed writing in my Blog and hope to get here more often...not sure how many people even read anymore although it still says I have 181 followers!! I notice my dashboard has fewer and fewer updates on it too...
Hope everyone is doing well..and that Spring is finally making it's way to your neck of the woods...it is amazing how good a bit of sunshine is for the soul!!
Have a great weekend!!
